Citizens United to Find
Fugitivesis
a non-profit corporation that works to obtain justice
for fraud victims and helps track fugitives so they can
be arrested. CUFFis supported by donations
.
If our research determines that you are the victim of a
fugitive or con artist, we will work with you for free
to obtain justice and locate the fugitive.

Here
Is What We Do

*
If you are a fraud victim, complete a Fraud
Report
so we can better understand the
circumstances of the crime. Be as
detailed as possible. We will
provide a Background Search on the
person for a $59.00 fee. This
research will
benefit you and your community if
information is produced that can be used
to convict the person for fraud.
The background search will include
information on the person going back to
the early 1980's and will include
address and phone information,
relatives' names and addresses,
neighbors' names and addresses, property
owned, civil judgments, criminal
records, aliases and a verification that
the social security number being used is
valid.

Additional
research will be performed if the
information produced clearly indicates
that the person is a career criminal or
has multiple civil judgments that
suggest fraud. The background
search is performed by private
investigators and skip tracers who
charge minimal fees or provide pro bono
investigative services to CUFF in order
to help their communities.
*We
will review your Fraud Report information from the vantage point of experienced
fraud victims who know the difficulty of convincing a
prosecutor to charge a clever con artist with fraud. Once
we review the information in the Fraud
Report, we will contact you to discuss
our analysis. We may have some
additional questions or we may make
recommendations for actions that you can
take independently.

*
Our research may reveal that you knew
your con artist under an alias, which is
often the case. Or it may uncover
a criminal record for fraud and
theft. This information can
sometimes convince an
otherwise reluctant prosecutor to
charge your con artist with fraud.

*
If our research turns up warrants that
are not extraditable, we will contact
the jurisdiction holding the warrants
and provide all the information we have
that might convince the prosecutor to
upgrade the warrant to extraditable.

*
If your con artist has disappeared with
your money to parts unknown, we will
work with you at no charge to locate the person if
there is an extraditable warrant in at
least one jurisdiction.

*
We will head you in the right direction
to sue your con artist civilly in order
to obtain a judgment for your money.
You can do this yourself in small claims
court. Once you receive the
default judgment, you can use it to
obtain subpoenas which may provide
information which will help locate the
defendant. If you can locate the thief
so the police can arrest him and put him
in jai if there is a warrant, then the civil judgment will be
worth your effort even if you never
collect a penny.

*
If any kind of warrant has been issued
for your con artist, including
non-extraditable warrants, and/or if you
have obtained a civil judgment against
the con artist, we will put the person
in the CUFF
Fugitive Database
so others
can help you find the person. Fugitives
in the CUFF database can be searched for
free using 48 individual characteristics, which makes it
virtually impossible for a fugitive to
hide behind an alias or a mustache.
If you have a photo, we will include it.

Thanks to law
enforcement, victims and concerned
citizens, the fugitive database
currently contains over 900 fugitives
and is growing daily. CUFF has
successfully located the EVERY
fugitives we have actively tracked, and we have
put several of them in jail. We
have helped several victims learn the
true identity of the con artists who
stole from them and they all turned out
to be fugitives with warrants for fraud.

*
If
you already know that there is an
outstanding warrant for the person who
defrauded you, submit
the person to the CUFF
Fugitive Database
for free so others can help
search. If you have obtained a
civil judgment or you know the person
has a criminal history, enter that
information also.

* If
you met the person on the Internet and
you do not know whether or not there is
a warrant or criminal history, enter
them in the Internet
Swindlers Database, a
proprietary database that is not
searchable on the Internet but is used
by CUFF to match names and MO's of
swindlers in order to provide
information to law enforcement.
CUFF matches each submission with con
artists already in the database to see
if the person has been entered already.
If so, we will send you the e-mail
address of the other victim(s) and allow
you to discuss your frauds, if you
choose. If information is produced
which substantiates a pattern of fraud,
CUFF will provide a free background
search on the con artist and begin an
investigation to determine whether or
not there might be evidence to convince
law enforcement to charge the person
with fraud.*
If you are the
victim of a crime other than fraud and
the defendant is a fugitive, we will
work with you to locate the person in
order to have him (or her) arrested.
Submit
the details of the crime, the
defendant's name and your contact
information.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Our
advice and assistance is based on real-life encounters
with con artists, fugitives and the criminal justice system.
Because of our perseverance, we were able to
obtain justice for ourselves and put the
criminals in jail and/or obtain civil judgments
against them.

The person who defrauded you is almost certain
to do it again if he or she believes the
criminal justice system will not try to stop
them. Until this person is arrested and
put in jail, all communities are at risk.
You will be performing a great community service
by going after the thief. When you
succeed, you will obtain justice for yourself
and and for other potential victims of the
thief.
